David Jackson — Director

David was born in the UK and moved to Colorado at 16, where he completed high school and earned his B.A. An avid traveler, his first instinct after graduation was to head to Asia. He volunteered and lived with a family in Kathmandu before making his way to Thailand, where he quickly fell in love with the country and its people.

For more than 20 years, David has called Thailand home. He has worked as a teacher, a development officer in NGOs, and with volunteers and study abroad programs across the country. He holds an M.A. in Asia Pacific Studies and an M.B.A., and is fluent in Thai.

David founded Thailand Experiences because he believes that living and working in a different environment is one of the fastest ways to grow. It challenges how you think, how you communicate, and how you solve problems. He loves working in international education because he gets to be part of so many life-changing experiences in the land of smiles.
